Even if 10% of interviewees know the questions and are extremely well prepared and get a perfect rating on the interview, the chances that they'll be admitted to W over you solely based on the fact that they got a rating of 4 and you got a rating of 3 on the interview is highly unlikely (IMO).

clearly mentions that interviews will have behavioral questions and answers other FAQs

pleeeze, that is CYA "fine print" post (dated quite recently, and sorta impssble to act on by early interview takers) that could only be fully understood after the Questions leaked and this rukkus began, and it does not say that the interview in TOTO will be 3 questions, out of possible 6, and the same questions will be asked to everyone, and your answers will written down and faxed to adcom by a monkey-scribe. I also love this final tip
The key is to relax, be genuine, and enjoy the opportunity for us to get to know one another.
How exactly? when the interviewer instructs you at the get go not to be spooked by the fact he is not really looking at you, but instead writing down what you say? And what kind of oppty are they offering to get to know a contract worker who does not have an MBA and did not go to Wharton.
No, the key is actually to prepare your brains out, read blogs like this, and create some BS answer which hits their grading grid of McKinsey BS about adding value, providing oppty for others to be heard, facilitating compromise, taking initiative, and also baking cookies and leading the clean up. My model answer, in prev post, was actually BETTER than their grid since it included some reflection on what could have been improved, if you were to do same thing again (no pts for that on their grade sheet), and some ethical considerations about how flexible to be w. legal standards for low cost insulun testing devices.
The entire Wharton culture surrounding this process is one of top-down command and control process and micro management --down to grading guides out to decimal pts, secrecy, standardized instructions, and their MANTRA of metricize everything.
Dont they trust their own friggin adcom members and students to be able to make a sensible and humane acct of who wld fit in class, and whether anyone cannot communicate or speak English?? Apparently not. The document you cite us to is typical Orwellian Big Brother Double Speak, and that is what this process reminds me of. And just who is going to read all those faxes by the way, a warehouse full of notes by donkey alums? really rich.

Ok, honestly Sandy, we get it. You're not a fan of the new Wharton process. I don't think I'm alone here when I say the following: Please get over it and try to be a bit more constructive.
When's your interview? Mine's on 19th morning and I will be traveling all the way to Philly (from Houston) for the interview. I hope I don't get stuck in the stupid philly marathon! 
. I personally especially admire the "Wharton Robot" part 
, which suggests that to beat the interview mechanism, it is best not to memorize questions and answers effectively turning yourself into a mediocre robot, but to ace robotics 
, i.e. remain human.
